To my Dream Reader

This is for the dream chaser, the traveler, the wildling, the oddity, the weird child, the creative, the music lover, the nerd, the sports enthusiast , the bully, the victim, the weed smoker, the party-goer, the introvert, the drinker. The important and the not so quite. The degree woman and the hustler, the young mother, the spicey grandma…and still too-hot-to-handle grandpa. The one who refuses to be labelled and still the one heavy laden with prejudice.

To every eye that read my lines, to every mind that imagines themselves within, to every heart that can relate, to every spirit that connects. To every ear that hears my voice YOU ARE MY DREAM READER, and there is a light inside all of you! There’s greatness in you. I don’t know you but we share something in our uniqueness.

You are loved. No really you are! Even if you find it hard to love yourself. Everything that happens in your life, happens for a reason. Cliche’ I know but every event, lesson, punishment will shape you into the incredible individual you were created to be.

There are no chance encounters, so every person that has entered your life has entered to bring some meaning to it, beloved it’s also okay to let go of life- suckers, darn right necessary!

You will never have it all figured out but that’s okay. That’s not what is important because we were never meant to have it all figured out. If we could, if we did, we’d never have to need another human being, we would be static, uninspiring, unmoving…dead.

That idea that you have that seems too big to turn into something real? That thought right there is a lie…debilitating! I guess cliches are true because no one can stop you but you. The power that you have within you is a force that may even scare you if you dare to unleash. The world should be scared! So put on your running shoes and go after your dreams.

The world is filled with fascinating things for you to discover; other cultures to fall in love with, foods to try and people to befriend.
